Abstract

This paper is an attempt to discuss the psychoanalyst/ philosopher Jacques Lacan’s notion of love. I took into consideration his foundations in psychoanalysis and proceeded to his philosophical views on love as belonging to the imaginary register, that is, love for what the subject imagines as existing in the other, and love as belonging to the symbolic register, that which is articulated in speech. Finally, it argues that for Lacan, the essence of love is not that of wholeness and harmony but of difference.
